Alcamo Spumante is a sparkling white wine based on the same grape as Alcamo Bianco, so one or more varieties of the grape Catarratto (minimum 60%), together with an exotic blend of local and international grapes. It is Ansonica and/or Insolia and/or Grillo and/or Grecanico and/or Chardonnay and/or Müller Thurgau and/or Sauvignon (maximum 40%). Finally up to 20% of other local grapes can also be added.
Alcamo Spumante (Spumante d'Alcamo), has a fine and lasting froth. The aroma is intense, fruity and harmonic, and the taste is dry or semi-dry, fresh and balanced.
The pressure in the bottle is either a result of natural fermentation, Metodo Classico, or from the so-called Martinotti method, where the wine ferments in special pressure tanks and is bottled under pressure.

That Italy in 2011 was the worlds largest wine producer?
Most tourists who have visited Valle d’Aosta (Aosta Valley), have probably never given the region’s name or wines a second thought. Here it’s about skiing on the dramatic slopes around Breuil-Cervinia, at the base of the gigantic mountain, Matterhorn. But the region offers exciting things to do in the après-ski department.
